This book is a masterpiece that not only unravels the confusing history of the raging medical debate about chronic Lyme disease, but successfully tracks ongoing research to better understand the disease and ultimately find a cure.
It is very hopeful to read about Lyme disease in a mainstream publication like Psychology Today. Medical Journalist Pamela Weintraub, the author of “Cure Unknown” has managed to get prime time coverage with a well-written overview called “Lyme Disease: The Great Imitator”.
Have you ever heard of Dysautonomia? Well, it is a general term used to describe a breakdown, or failure of the autonomic nervous system, which is a symptom of neurological Lyme disease.
Atom Sciences in Oak Ridge has received a $73,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health to develop a process for identifying the bacteria that cause Lyme disease and related illnesses.
Chlamydia Pneumoniae, also known as CPN, is a fast emerging Lyme co-infection with very similar symptoms. In fact for some who remain very sick and have yet to receive a positive Lyme diagnosis, CPN is something that should definitely be tested for.
Until recently, Babesia was considered a rare disease because it was only diagnosed in extremely ill patients with high fevers (104+). The bacteria which invades the red blood cells, has been largely ignored by the medical community in part because there wasn’t a reliable test for diagnosing it, and in part because there has been so little information about the disease.
In my last blog I mentioned the importance of healing the immune system as a means of halting the inflammatory response that can become so devastating and is responsible for most if not all of the symptoms of Lyme disease.
